My partner and I had perhaps our best visit to Palm Springs yet, and a lot of that had to do with how well run El Mirasol is. Owners Bruce and Paul and night manager John go to great lengths to maintain the property in its gorgeous condition, to ensure that guests' needs are met, and to offer a quiet... more

I have been going to Palm Springs for several years now. I look forward to my annual retreat from the noise and chaos of New York. The BEST part of my stay in PS is the El Mirasol Resort. NEVER have I stayed at an inn/resort where I have felt so welcomed and comfortable. The owners, Bruce and Paul, couldn't... more

Owners and employees abandoned hotel at night, leaving guests alone with poor security system (a low wall and a combination door buzzer-- that's it). No safe was available, no signs regarding liability or warning of poor security situation. Owner has repeatedly had to kick non-guests out of pool at night. I would not leave things in my car there either.... more

We have just returned from an absolutely fabulous week at the El Mirasol Villas Resort in Palm Springs. From the beautiful mountain views to the wonderful hospitality of the owners Paul & Bruce and their staff, it was truely a great experience and a first class resort. The rooms were immaculately clean and very spacious. The grounds are landscaped beautifully,... more

El Mirasol is the perfect place to relax and improves every year I return. I've been vacationing at El Mirasol every year for 12 years and it is truly my home away from home. It is definitely worth the trip plane trip from my home state of Texas. Paul and Bruce are the owners and they definitely make everyone feel... more

El Mirasol is wonderful and seems to improve with every visit. Palm Springs offers a wide variety of choices for the gay traveler. Everything from a steamy sexual atmosphere to total tranquility. When planning a stay in Palm Springs it is important to do your homework. El Mirasol offers a realxing, tranquil experience. The rooms are spotlessly clean with good... more

The actual property itself was nice. Beautiful landscaping, motel-like furnishings, two pools, a hot tub and outdoor shower. Forget the steam room if there's more than two people as it is quite small. That's about all it has going for it. Also, I would choose the bungalows (the original part of the property built by Howard Hughes) over the suites... more

I have been coming to El Mirasol Villas on and off for about 20 years and have seen it through many changes and owners. The accommodations are spacious, comfortable and clean. I particularly like the grounds, as they are lush with many tropical plants and the layout is not your typical motel-type look. I travel a good deal and know... more
